tweet about Penn State MBB -- Grad Transfer Curtis Jones commits

[Ranger Dan]

Ben Jones tweets: Penn State basketball will have an answer for you tomorrow when it comes to “How do you replace Rasir Bolton?”



It seems like a transfer situation, but wouldn’t have a clue about who it might be....

Here's a couple of possibilities. Former 5 star PG Derryck Thornton of USC and formerly Duke. PG Lamarr "Fresh" Kimble from St. Joe's. He committed to grad transfer to Louisville, but he's a Philly kid(Neumann-Goretti) and could potentially flip.

Could be Marcus Polgar.

He's been fantastic. He boxes out for us, gets the tough rebounds, does the tough things we need to win.

I dont think he is a game changer by any means but a better offensive player than Wheeler. PLus its only a 1 yr deal.

Watch the teeth

Not going to move the needle much but we need the depth and experience in the backcourt. Coming out of high school he was a 4 star top 75 recruit with a reputation as a scorer that just needed to get stronger. He hasn't lived up to his lofty recruiting ranks but playing for Huntington Prep, Indiana, and OklaSt he certainly has played against top notch competition.

Grad Transfer Curtis Jones commits to MBB

He is coming from Oklahoma State after a stint at Indiana earlier in his career. Seems like a capable replacement and a veteran presence for the team. Former four-star recruit Curtis Jones — who played for Indiana before transferring to Oklahoma State — is now heading to Happy Valley.

The combo guard was the the Cowboys’ sixth man last season and averaged 8.1 points, three rebounds and one assist per game. He’s now one of the potential replacements for Nittany Lion Rasir Bolton, who transferred following his freshman season.

Jones, who’s immediately eligible for his final season, announced his addition Tuesday morning on Twitter. Penn State coach Patrick Chambers confirmed the move via social media.
